The Illuminated Sketchbook of Stephan Schriber (1494)

Friday 15 June 2012 at 15:44

Selected pages from the Spätgotisches Musterbuch des Stephan Schriber, a manuscript which appears to be some kind of sketchbook, belonging to a 15th century monk working in South-West Germany, where ideas and layouts for illuminated manuscripts were tried out and skills developed.
